70% to pass

Which group should be used to send the signal "Latitude 73°25'North"?

A LA7325N
B N7325
C L7325N
D G17325N
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) L7325N. The International Code of Signals provides standardized ways to communicate latitude and longitude coordinates. For latitude, the format is a single letter (L for latitude) followed by the degrees, minutes, and N for north. Therefore, the correct representation for "Latitude 73°25'North" is L7325N. The other options are incorrect because: A) LA7325N is not the standard format, as it includes an extra letter. B) N7325 does not include the full latitude information (degrees and minutes). D) G17325N is not a recognized format for latitude coordinates.
